Business is very fair for July and
every preparation is being made for an
August crush, for August is consider
ed the proprietors best month, although

dard and life there will soon be one
string Of gayety from the Maplewood
to the Centennial. The Crawford, fail
exclusive Crawford, is of course doing
well, it is one of those houses that
prosper let the general season be what
it may. The immense Fabyan is noted
more for its transient patronage, which
is large and profitable.
The Mount Pleasant House situated
about half mile from the Fabyan on
the Crawford road, has an unusually
large number of guests for this season
of the year. A fine orchestra just ar.
rived adds pleasure to pleasure. The
proprietor, Mr.. A. L. Fabyan, although
comparatively young, has the honor OF
being the Oldest natice in the vicinity

SO called from the dome like mountain
of that name, over which you climb,
should you make Mt. Washington over
the bride path from Crawford's. In
our view it is the finest shaped peak of
the whole range.
The Twin Mountain House around
which clusters the principal interest of
this region, is doing better at this time
of year than it has since the Beecher
days. About hundred guests are en-
joying themselves there now and well
they might for nothing is left undone by
the proprietor and wife, for their COM
fort and amusement. Southland's Or
chestra of Springfield, Mass, is at this
house for its ninth season and 's.wafls
of sweetness glide upon the air."
Many of the guests are old timers,
they have known the house and the
house has known them-fifteen years
some of them. Here VIM. B. Dins-

New Workers fly hither from summer
